Why is a song created by Derivakat, and is inspired by the lore of the Dream SMP. The song is about Wilbur, or more commonly referred to as Ghostbur. Unlike Blue, the song takes a more darker and sadder approach, that refers to the past, and what’s happened.
[Verse 1]
Look at what you've done, is this what you call glory?
Do you still believe you're the hero of your story?
I longed for peace, but you couldn't leave it be
Now you've played your part in this forever unfinished symphony
[Pre-Chorus]
Oh, it hurts, and it hurts, and it's getting worse
A promise you made, cut down by your blade
Can't stand the rain, can't stand the pain
How it breaks my heart when you tear it apart
[Chorus]
So why? (Why?) Why did you lie? (Lie)
Why did your words amount to nothing?
And why? (Why?) Why did it fall? (Fall)
Why did you leave me here with nothing?
[Verse 2]
Look at what you've done, is this your happy ending? (Is this your happy ending?)
Look around and see, this is history repeating (This is history repeating)
Do you even care that you've left things beyond repair? (Beyond repair)
It was by your hand, you've turned a masterpiece into a nightmare (Nightmare)
[Pre-Chorus]
Oh, it hurts, and it hurts, and it's getting worse
You act like a judge, enforcing your personal grudge
Am I to pay for this war you've raised?
Yes, it breaks my heart when you tear it apart
[Chorus]
So why? (Why?) Why did you lie? (Lie, oh)
Why did your words amount to nothing? (Tell me, did nothing)
And why? (Why?) Why did it fall? (Fall; Why did it fall?)
Why did you leave me here with nothing? (Nothing)
[Outro]
Look at what you've done
You've brought upon disaster
Do you still believe
This is the justice you sought after?

“Why” conveys the feelings of intense loss and hopeless despair in the wake of tragedy. […] I’ve tried to tackle the different ways ppl respond or react to war on the smp, whether they are the initiators, aggregators, bystanders, or victims of it
